That is a good reason. However, for your information there is the 
variant “git commit --amend”, which as the option suggests amends the 
current commit. Just “git add“ the files you changed and run “git commit 
--amend”. It also lets you edit the commit message. After discovering 
this option, I find I am less fearful of making premature commits, since 
they are easily fixed. (But not after pushing, of course. That way lies 
madness.)
